About Ammari
Ammari Edwards is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and big life changes. She works in a respectful, down-to-earth way and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Her approach is collaborative.
Sessions aim to build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action. Ammari pays close attention to attachment patterns and relationship dynamics that influence emotional health. She draws on the Gottman Method principles when addressing communication problems, trust issues, and intimacy concerns.
Her work includes attention to trauma and somatic symptoms, and she uses trauma-informed strategies to help people feel steadier over time. She has experience supporting people with panic, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, and pregnancy or childbirth related concerns. Additional focus areas include codependency, forgiveness, infidelity, and isolation or loneliness.
Career strain and coping with life transitions are also common topics in her work. Ammari combines client-centered skills with structured interventions so sessions feel both empathetic and goal-oriented. Her background includes clinical work with World Trade Center first responders through FDNY, which strengthened her understanding of resilience after high-stress events.

Online support
Using evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Ammari draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most and take small actions that align with those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaning. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to identify how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and to build more supported ways of relating. Both approaches translate well to online work and can address anxiety, relationship patterns, and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Ammari will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try different strategies, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps ensure therapy fits your situation rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or to fit a break into a workday. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around daily life while keeping work focused on goals and progress.
